Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Wisdom Seeker

I see you, My beloved. I see that you’ve been faithful to Me and that you have humbly allowed Me to prune and hone you. It is My utter joy to know that you are in that place of spiritual freedom where you are ready to jump with child-like faith into your Daddy’s arms, ready for the new. Well done!

The next step for you is to seek My wisdom in every detail of what you are undertaking. Allow My Holy Spirit to teach you what is good for the new season and in accordance with My perfect timing. Because you have grown tremendously, the enemy is already trying to confuse and overwhelm you with an onslaught that is intended to push you into doing things and moving prematurely.

However, it’s in that heart-to-heart stillness with Me that you really only need to BE. So ask for My wisdom, stay in contemplation of Me. The rest, the blueprint, and the answers will come smoothly by My Spirit.

Activation:

Allow yourself to be still. Contemplate God’s goodness and steadfast love that He has demonstrated as He has led you this far. Remember what He has helped you go through and be thankful for all the blessings that come to mind. Then, acknowledge that you cannot do anything without Him and His wisdom as you pray this prayer:

“Lord, I need you. I need your wisdom and counsel in every small and large aspect of my life. Please guide my steps. I ask that you shine your light upon my path and show me the way I should go. Fill my heart with your peace as I make decisions and lead me in the right direction as I follow your perfect plan and purpose for my life. Thank you, Jesus, amen.”

“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]!
And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].

Proverbs 4:7 (AMP)

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5 (NKJV)

“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 46:10 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Pursue Holiness

Now is a time of sanctification and drawing closer to Me. In My Kingdom, there is holiness and purity. And while sin separates you from Me, it’s sanctification that will draw you deeper into My heart, My ways, and values.

In this season, I want My people who are called by My name to seek Me on a deeper level, refusing to settle for anything less, not letting go of Me until I bless you. I want you to be those who will not compromise your walk with Me for the lures of the world, those who will press on and count everything else as loss only to find Me when you seek Me with all of your heart. I need penitent hearts and clean hands.

Where are the people who will go when I say “Go!”, those who will cry out “Here I am Lord, send me”? I require willing servants who will become My leaders among many, those who will say “No” to the norm and stand up and stand out for My Kingdom! For too long My people have been covered in a shroud. Now, I say, rip off the grave clothes and stand purified before Me in royal robes, washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Activation:

Prayer: Father God, please make me holy, washed by your son Jesus’ blood. Help me keep my eyes on you when the world comes knocking at my door, let me not be tempted more than I can stand, and offer me a way out of it so that I may not sin against you. Let me not cause anyone else to sin or be a stumbling block to my brother or sister. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Isaiah’s Commission

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 

9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;
Keep on looking, but do not comprehend.’

Isaiah 6:8-9 (AMP)

3 For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; 

4 that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor [being available for God’s purpose and separated from things profane],

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 (AMP)

14 Continually pursue peace with everyone, and the sanctification without which no one will [ever] see the Lord. 

15 See to it that no one falls short of God’s grace; that no root of resentment springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

Hebrews 12:14-15 (AMP)

Thursday Morning Scripture – Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Vision

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. 

2 Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wingshe flew. 

3 And one called out to another, saying,

“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is filled with His glory.”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke. 

5 Then I said,

“Woe is me! For I am ruined,
Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lordof hosts.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. 

7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Listen carefully, this has touched your lips; your wickedness [your sin, your injustice, your wrongdoing] is taken away and your sin atoned for and forgiven.”

Isaiah’s Commission

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;
Keep on looking, but do not comprehend.’

10 “Make the heart of this people insensitive,
Their ears dull,
And their eyes dim,
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,

“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
And houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,

12 The Lord has removed [His] people far away,
And there are many deserted places in the midst of the land.

13 “And though a tenth [of the people] remain in the land,
It will again be subject to destruction [consumed and burned],
Like a massive terebinth tree or like an oak
Whose stump remains when it is chopped down.
The holy seed [the elect remnant] is its stump [the substance of Israel].”

Isaiah 6:1-13 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Season of Exposure

My child, in this season I am going to search your heart and bring to light every hidden motive. I am going to expose to you the things inside of you – things that you were not aware of, the sin that was purposefully hidden from others, or the habit you constantly justified. I am doing this out of My deep love for you and not to shame you. I know this can be a painful process, you might even feel embarrassed or humiliated. My child, when this happens don’t run from Me. Instead, run towards Me. Run into My open arms!

This exposing season is a necessary process for you to move forward. I am coming like a gardener to prune and cut off any dead or rotten branches so that you might bear much fruit in this new season. My child, feel My deep love for you in this pruning season despite the painful procedure, and know that I will be with you in this process.

Activation:

23 Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;

24 And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.

Psalm 139:23-24 (AMP)

Pray Psalm 139:23-24 over yourself. Ask God for an open and unoffended heart as you choose to partner with Him in this season. Let Him expose anything that is not in alignment with His Kingdom values. As He reveals those things to you, repent, then ask for and receive His forgiveness; know that He is a loving Father who cares deeply about you.

Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches

1 “[a]I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].

John 15:1-2 (AMP)

38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 (AMP)

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Enthroned on High

Beloved, close your eyes and imagine. See Me as the Sovereign King and the perfect Judge. See My Throne of Righteousness and Justice established on high. I am seated above all kingdoms and peoples of this earth ready to hold court. Watch as all the people assemble before Me. 

I am ready to reveal My justice and to proclaim My judgement. I will hold everyone accountable for everything they have done and for everything they did not do. Those who are repentant and have suffered injustice or have seen others suffer will rejoice because I will set things right. Those who have committed injustice themselves and are not repentant will fear or loathe Me because retribution is at hand. For I know every heart and I read every mind. I see all the good deeds and all the evil doings. Nothing is hidden from My sight; I will sit in judgement over it all. However, all those who genuinely call upon the name of My Son Jesus will be saved. 

I will look at the perfect sacrifice of My Son on the cross and I will let them pass through Him as The Gateway into My Kingdom. Those who trust in Him and call upon Him will be saved. They will not be judged for their evil doings, nor will they be saved by their own good deeds, for salvation comes through Christ’s sacrifice alone. This is an act of My passionate love and a sign of My everlasting faithfulness.

My Beloved, I ask that you earnestly remember My holiness and sovereignty. Acknowledge and live by My Righteousness and Justice. Even as I sit in judgement over the whole earth, I, The Almighty and The Compassionate One, long for you, your family, and all the Nations of the earth to call upon My Son and be saved.

Activation: 

Imagine the Lord on His throne and all the nations gathered around Him. You and all your people are also among them. Let it sink in. Be aware of your emotions and thoughts and bring them before the Lord. Marvel at the fact that you are redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the cross. Then, declare that God’s throne of righteousness and justice, as well as the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross, be established over you, your family, your neighborhood, your city, your nation, and any other nations that the Lord places on your heart.

7 Let the assembly of the nations be gathered around You,
And return on high over them.

8 The Lord judges the peoples;
Judge me, O Lord, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me.

9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You];
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

Psalm 7:7-9 (AMP)

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

Psalm 89:14 (ESV)

For “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD [in prayer] WILL BE SAVED.”

Romans 10:13 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Citizens of Heaven

Several nations’ governments are shifting this season, and the enemy is using it as an opportunity to bait many into division and advance his kingdom. My beloved Church, be aware so that you don’t take the bait. It is easy to fall into the ways of the world – picking and choosing sides and fighting over who is right and wrong. But remember, you are citizens of Heaven first. I am your eternal King, and My ways are supreme.

Doesn’t it make more sense to put your hope in the Highest King rather than the earthly kings who are subject to Him? Unlike the kings of the world, I always have My citizens’ best interests at heart. Relinquish putting your hope in earthly kings and receive peace knowing that I hold all the earth’s solutions, then you can co-labor with Me in the heavenlies to release those solutions and truly bring My Kingdom to earth.

Rise up, Church! Unite as one body under this Truth. Surrender your agendas to reveal My will. My will may seem contrary to earthly understanding, but you can trust it. Seek Me for guidance on how to release My will. If you do these things, you will witness My light overcome the works of the enemy as My righteousness sweeps across the nations.

Prayer: 

Father, I acknowledge that You are the Highest King over all creation, and I am a Kingdom citizen first. Your ways are always perfect and higher! Forgive me for getting caught up in worldly ways and putting my hope in a man-made system when I should have been putting my hope in You. I choose to come up higher and surrender my agenda to Yours. Help me recenter myself in You and Your perfect will so I can see Your solutions and release them on the earth. I want to influence man-made systems according to Your will, not the other way around.

Father God, help Your Church unify in truth. Help us rise up and speak boldly in one accord. May our voice reverberate so powerfully that it shatters floodgates and releases rivers of righteousness that sweep away evil and bring purity to all the land. We put our hope in you, Lord! In Jesus’s name, Amen.

But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

Philippians 3:20 (AMP)

7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding.

8 God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.

9 The princes of the people have gathered together as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.

Psalm 47:7-9 (AMP)

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

John 6:38 (NKJV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – A Call to Arms

The Spirit of the Lord says, “Rise up and be alert! I have trained and equipped you to prepare for the days ahead. And now I say to prepare for battle, prepare for war! 

I have prepared you because of My great love for you; I do not want you to be taken off-guard but to be ready. This readiness requires full trust in Me, so do not fear! If you have diligently listened to everything I have said and applied My instruction, you will be well-equipped for what’s to come. 

So, keep your eyes on Me not on what’s around you. Fix your eyes on Me alone and keep them on Me! I have been preparing you to confidently step into your authority, and now it is time to level up.

It is time to be bold – timidity is not the order of the day. I am calling for My Kingdom Army Bride to don her military attire, and I am calling forth the vigilant prayer warriors who are not afraid to stand firm and make bold decrees in the spirit. It is time to defy the demonic principalities and powers and declare My name and My will in the earth. Spectator time is over, it’s time to arise!”

Activation:

4 Instead, our spiritual warfare are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow down in obedience to the Anointed One.

6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponary, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (TPT)

The above Scripture tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but that they are divinely powerful weapons and mighty unto God to destroy darkness and anything that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God. 

Designate intentional time with Holy Spirit to fully evaluate your preparedness to war for the Kingdom of God. Ask Him how He would assess your readiness to stand for the Kingdom. Ask Him to reveal your strengths as well as where you need more development. Is it your trust in the faithfulness of God that needs strengthening? Ask Him where you need to be emboldened and ask Him to teach you.

Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.

A Psalm of David

Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle;

Psalm 144:1 (AMP)

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7 (AMPC)

4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 

5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 

6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Higher Pursuits

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Proverbs 3:16 (ESV)

Long life, riches and honour are the final pursuit of many, an end in themselves. This pursuit brings striving, anxiety, self-preservation and other prisons. In My Kingdom they are not the goal, but they are the by-products of seeking wisdom.

Lay down your pursuit of the inferior.

I am calling you now to the higher pursuit, to search for My wisdom. To learn to think as I do is wisdom; to follow My lead is wisdom; obedience to My word is wisdom; to know what I do and to do the same is wisdom; to lay down your own understanding, desire and opinion in place of Mine is wisdom. The invitation to receive greater discernment of these things is open to you. What will you pursue?

Those who choose wisdom are the ones I can trust, they are the ones who will listen to the intricacies of My leading, they are the ones who will be able to navigate the battlegrounds safely. They are the ones who will work for My glory and not their own.

Activation: 

Invite the Holy Spirit to lead you through an honest assessment of your heart. Where are the worldly values of long life, riches and honour misplaced in you? Where has the pursuit of Godly wisdom taken second place? Let Him go deep into the subtleties of your thought life. Repent of anything He shows you and lay them down. Recommit to the pursuit of wisdom through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Set time aside to read and meditate on the whole of Proverbs 3, which speaks such deep truth about the pursuit of Wisdom.

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Matthew 6:33 (AMP)

25 Whom have I in heaven [but You]?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:25-26 (AMP)
